First of all, I don't know who shot JFK. However, I
think a simple inspection of the bullet holes in the president's
jacket and shirt, along with the original autopsy
diagram, in comparison to the Warren Commission's drawing
of the bullet's path make it clear that there was never a serious
investigation into the assassination. The back wound appears
consistently to be 5"" to 6"" below the neck
line, and slightly off to the right. (It is sometimes proposed
that the jacket and shirt "rode up", and while this
may be possible for the jacket, it would be quite impossible
for the dress shirt buttoned at the collar.)

Furthermore, the fact that this obvious and critical discrepancy
was never addressed by Huntley-Brinkley, Howard K Smith, Walter
Cronkite, or Dan Rather to Earl Warren, Gerald Ford, J Edgar
Hoover, or Lyndon Johnson at the time, or afterwards,
is indicative that the media lacked the eternal vigilance
that is required of responsible men to insure the integrity of
democracy.

Gerald Ford, the number two man on the Warren Commission,
a congressman who never voted for a civil rights bill, nor against
a military appropriation, a congressman who was "duped"
into leading a movement to impeach Supreme Court Justice William
O Douglass because he had written a book entitled "Points
of Rebellion", a man appointed de-facto president by outgoing
president Nixon, and pardoner of said president, is notable in
his Commission work for, among other things, the following contribution
to the Commission's "search" for the truth of
the assassination:

In 1988, on the 25th anniversary of the assassination, NOVA
and Walter Cronkite did a show which claimed that if
the president and the governor were in the following positions,
that a single bullet could account for all the wounds,
and since it could account for all the wounds, it could
not be ruled out. In their recreation, JFK appears to be
preparing to tie his shoe, not something that is borne out by
the Zapruder film. Note also that the placement of the entry
point ignores the physical evidence of the jacket and shirt bullet
holes.

In 1993, on the 30 anniversary of the assassination, Failure
Analysis Associates created a segment for what Happened?
featured on The Learning Channel. In it they said "There
doesn't seem to be a lot of hard scientific looking at what went
on". How true. Certainly in their case the physical evidence
of the jacket and shirt bullet holes were not taken into consideration.

The problem the Warren Commission faced was, a back
wound, a neck wound, a head wound, all of Connelys wounds, and
a complete miss, thus at least 5 bullets. This implies multiple
shooters from multiple directions, and obviously the further
support and coordination this would entail. Or simply put, a
conspiracy.

The Warren Commission saw no evidence of a conspiracy. Notwithstanding:
(Among many other things)

Numerous people who testified that upon entering the grassy
knoll, they were accosted by men claiming to be with the Secret
Service. This is at the least very suspicious.

A man claiming to be Lee Harvey Oswald created an incident
at a used car lot, and a shooting range days before the assassination,
turned out obviously not to be Lee Harvey Oswald.
This is suspicious.

A man using the name Lee Harvey Oswald, entered the
Cuban Embassy in Mexico weeks before the assassination, and later
surveillance photos again showed the man to be obviously not
Lee Harvey Oswald. This is suspicious.

Simply put, the Earl Warren's and the Gerald Ford's were not
the measure of the task at hand.

Had the American public seen the Zapruder film
the weekend of the assassination, it would have been impossible
for the Warren Commission's scenario to have been taken a all
seriously. Thus the Warren Commission's initial reaction to lock
the film up for 75 years can be understood. It was left to Geraldo
Rivera, 12 years later, on a week night, after midnight
to show the American public the film it had been restricted from
seeing.

In my humble opinion the assassinations of the 60's were NOT
the work of "one lone nuts", but was a systematic
extermination of the liberal conscience of the American
body politic. It evolved from the paranoia and secrecy of
the 50's, overtly embodied by Joseph McCarthy, and
subvertly by the brothers Foster and Allen Dulles who
ran the State Department and CIA respectively, while Eisenhower
played golf. While thoughts and ideas were attacked at home,
nations who did not maximize the interests of American business,
even if at the expense of their own people's freedom, were a
attacked, subverted,and corrupted.

JFK was hated by J Edgar Hoover and the FBI,
Lyndon Johnson, the Mafia, the military-industrial
complex, and Southern Senators and Congressmen
who chaired and controlled virtually all of the powerful committees
of Congress. JFK's death and the subsequential shift
of power was a great comfort and convenience to all
of these interests. A thorough investigation was in none of their
interests. The American public be DAMNED.
